Second Look--February 15, 2012

During these winter doldrums, I am finding the Second Look harder to do. However, I was rewarded this week with some surprises. My idea was to do a post about the different evergreens we have in the yard.  However, a funny thing happened on my way to the evergreens. I found one lone crocus blooming. Then in another area that was overgrown, I found snow drops. I had forgotten that we even had those. Also, I found buds emerging from a set of daffodils--a result of the warmer weather we had in January, no doubt. These exciting finds reminded me of why I take a Second Look.

Here's what I saw this week.
